Steyr AUG [Automatic Rifle]:

The Steyr Aug is a bullpup configuration combat rifle orignially designed for the
Austrian military. This rifle is used by several other nations including Australia.
The rifle apears exotic and is largely manufactured from high strength plastics and
aluminum. Because of this, the rifle is quite lightweight. The Aug is manufactured with
a low powered telescopic sight built into the carrying handle. Unlike most rifles, it
does not have a selector switch and instead has a two stage trigger. The rifle is gas
operated and uses a rotating bolt. There are civilian semi-automatic versions of the
Steyr AUG available.

The Rifle is available with 30 round and 42 round magazines. The magazines are made
from clear plastic which enable the shooter to be able to see how many they have remaining.

The ejection port of many bullpup configuration rifles in on the right side and
prevents the use of the weapon by left handed individuals due to the fact that rounds
would eject onto the shooters face. The AUG can be converted for a left handed shooter
by inserting a left handed bolt and moving the ejection port cover to the right side.
The cooking handle remains on the left hand side but the weapon is still much easier
for left handed shooters to use than most bullpup rifles.

All barrels for the Steyr AUG are hammer-forged from high-grade steel and feature
chrome-plated bores. The combat rifle is available with multiple barrels for different
roles and barrels are interchangeable. There is a 621 mm heavy barrel to act as a light
support weapon, a 508 mm barrel as a combat rifle, a 407 mm barrel to act as carbine,
and a 350 mm barrel for commando purposes.

The rifle can easily be converted into a 9mm submachinegun with the help of a conversion
kit or can be purchased in a 9 mm configuration. The conversion kit includes barrel, bolt
group, and magazine adapter for special 9mm magazines. The Steyr AUG in 9 mm fires using the
blowback principle, and it does not utilize a rotating bolt like the standard configuration
AUG. The Rifle has a longer barrel than most submachineguns and is very accurate. Even so,
it is less popular than the MP-5. The weapon uses 25 or 32 round magazines

Innovative design, robust, compact, lightweight plastic
and aluminum design. can use a variety of different barrels and can be converted for left handed
shooters. Ha s a low powered optical sight in the handle.
